Seattle Animal Shelter Offers Huge Savings For Adopting Pet Through End Of Year



The Seattle Animal Shelter is hosting a "Home for the Holidays” Open House on December 19th.  Holiday snacks and cider will be served. And the public will have the opportunity to learn more about the shelter and its programs and take advantage of the December adoption special.

The information says:

The holiday season is upon us, and the Seattle Animal Shelter is reminding you that one of the season’s greatest gifts is giving a homeless animal a forever home.  

Through December 31, 2015, the shelter is offering a “Home for the Holidays” adoption special, in which you can add a new pet to your home for only $15, plus applicable two-year license fees.

Both in-shelter and foster animals at least 6 months old qualify for the special pricing, although some high-interest animals are excluded. Staff are hoping this promotion will encourage potential pet owners to adopt. 

“Our team is specially trained to help families choose the perfect pet for their personalities and lifestyles,” Jordan said. “If you have room in your home and your heart, you can give an animal the greatest gift this season and save a life. We are looking forward to seeing these beautiful cats, dogs and critters find their loving, forever families.”  

For Seattle residents, a two-year pet license must be purchased with each adoption. The license fee is $27 for cats and $37 for dogs. Critter adoptions do not require licensing. 

With regular adoption prices of up to $145 (plus applicable license fees), this promotion offers up to $130 in savings.  

The adoption fee includes:

·         Certificate for free health exam at local veterinarians

·         Initial vaccinations

·         Spay or neuter

·         Microchip

·         Deworming

·         Feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus testing (cats only)

 

The Seattle Animal Shelter (2061 15th Avenue W) is open Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. for adoptions and licensing.
